From O Porriño to Arcade

Information

This is a very exciting stage, where you can finally see the Atlantic Ocean. During this day the path takes us through steep climbs until we reach the chapel of Santiaguiño de Mos. We assure you that it is worth the effort of the climb from O Porriño to Santiaguiño, as the stretch that follows to Redondela and Arcade, is dominated by a gentle descent that will give you spectacular views of the Vigo estuary.

After the impressive landscapes that the road offers us on the coast of the Rias Baixas, we will arrive at Arcade: capital of the oysters of Galicia, belonging to the municipality of Soutomaior.

You leave O Porriño heading for Mos and face the climb to Santiaguiño, with its Jacobean hermitage; at the top you're rewarded with the first views of the estuary. You descend towards Redondela, with its railway bridges and modernist air, then continue almost at sea level with the island of San Simón in sight. You finish in Arcade, the oyster capital: the best spot on the whole route to treat yourself to seafood and albariño wine.
